July 18-21: The Denver Post Underground Music Showcase with Cults, Mudhoney, Bleached at various venues in South Broadway’s Baker neighborhood.

Of course we think you should come to the UMS, but not only because we created the indie music festival 12 years ago. The UMS is unlike any other festival in this group because it’s the closest Denver gets to that special, SXSW-styled aesthetic that thrives over four days in 25-plus venues with 300 bands.
